vedado

A common sight in Havana, and anyplace in Cuba. Independent business owners set up shop on terraces and front yards, selling goods and repairing old items. Some of the most common forms of business involve repairing watches, mobile phones, jewelry and shoes. This vendor hotspot, located in Vedado, just beside the Habana Libre Hotel, also has a man selling art. Art is one of the largest Cuban exports and can be a very lucrative business. As a tourist, you just have to make sure that the art your buy has all the proper export labels, or else you will have to pay a hefty export duty or the art can be seized at airport customs. For more information about this, please check out the Real Havana Guide.

La Coppelia ice cream shop in the Vedado neighborhood of Havana offers some of the best ice cream in Cuba at an extremely low price. Each scoop of ice cream only costs 1 peso (Moneda Nacional). That's the equivalent of about 4 cents USD. The ice cream is really good. It's cold, creamy and very sweet. The only problem is that this ice cream parlor is just too popular! Lineups to get in cant take hours and they snake around the whole block. My suggestion, wait for a cooler or rainy evening and then make your move. You might only have to wait 15 minutes, and you will taste the best ice cream Cuba has to offer.

Book Testimonials

I like urban exploration, so I was happy to learn about the “hidden” places to explore in Havana. I loved walking inside the abandoned buildings. No other guides explain how to do this. If you actually want to explore Cuba on your own, and learn about Cuban life, you need this guide. Books from Globe Trekker, Lonely Planet and Rough Guide are pathetic in comparison.
Patrick Harper
The listings for the cheap casas particulares is awesome. I rented a large, private apartment, and it cost only $25 per night. I reserved the casa online and saved more than $10 per night. I avoided the hidden brokerage charges that other websites charge. Anyway, I saved a lot of money on a 10 day stay. Well worth the price of buying this book.
